NBC:  A 3-hour CHICAGO mega-crossover worked very well, with FIRE up 0.1 from its last Tuesday airing to 1.7, PD up 0.6 from last week to 1.9, and the new CHICAGO JUSTICE (which will air regularly on Sundays) getting a solid sampling at 1.7.

ABC:  The second installment of WHEN WE RISE fell 0.1 from Monday to 0.6, and was down to a particularly grim 0.4 by the 10:30PM half-hour.  The night started with THE GOLDBERGS down 0.1 to 1.7, and MODERN FAMILY at its 3rd consecutive 2.0.

CBS:  The season finale of HUNTED held at 1.2, and CRIMINAL MINDS was down 0.1 to 1.2.  Due to the abrupt cancellation of DOUBT, a BULL rerun rounded out the night at 0.7.

FOX:  With a 0.7 LETHAL WEAPON rerun as lead-in, STAR dropped 0.1 to 1.1.

CW:  ARROW rose 0.1 to 0.6, and THE 100 held at 0.4.

ABC gives its full primetime to WHEN WE RISE tonight, with a documentary preceding the next chapter of the miniseries.  FOX airs the season finale of MY KITCHEN RULES.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
